N- Quite a scary label actually. Cola popping candy, corn syrup and chocolate. Perfume herbs and cloves with whiff of lime and vanilla. Feel less 'arranged' so to say, and a good sign. (19/25)
P- Pleasantly full, sandalwood and not overly sweet, campari, hint of herb bitter and chikoo. (19/25)
F- Medium, medicinal, quite dry and clean with lasting waxy coat, (20/25)
B/B- 19/25, would be nice with soda or ginger beer.
Weighted Rate- 77pt

Dry rum! 5 out of 10

Having had Brugal Anejo, Brugal XV and Brugal 1888, it was only a matter of time before I got my hands on a bottle of Brugal Extra Viejo. This version of the Brugal line sells for $35 CAD in my area and I would guess it is most likely used as a mixer. In spite of the low rating on this site (5.9 from 78 ratings) I thought I would give it a try as a sipper rum as it is known to be very dry, with no sugar added.
This rum is dry indeed and while not a premium rum, it is nevertheless acceptable neat but much better rums are available for a few extra dollars. Would I drink this again? Yes. Will I purchase another bottle? Not likely.
